Italy's ANSV has opened an investigation into a serious occurrence on 20 September when an Air Arabia Maroc Airbus A320 en route to Amman descended towards the sea shortly after departing Catania, Sicily. ANSV says it will examine flight data, systems and crew actions to determine the cause.

Briefing
The ANSV probe highlights the acute risk during takeoff and initial climb where crew, systems or ATC issues can rapidly escalate; this incident joins other recent European safety investigations such as the Ajaccio holding after an ATC controller reportedly fell asleep and the Nice runway alignment near-miss.
For operators and regulators this will drive focused checks on procedures, training and systems behaviour — follow-on actions mirrored prior responses to an Air France A321 electrical problem that forced a diversion and the call to inspect 787 electrical systems after a RAT deployment incident.
